malcolm in the middle
brendan’s gone to play with peter up the back. malcolm’s in. and the bish remains (though perhaps as treasurer?).
read the blow-by-blow account of how the party room ballot went down here, and about the member for wentworth’s performance in his first question time here.
we didn’t used to like turnbull very much but some hints of rudd disillusionment have us softening slightly. we’re definitely watching lateline tonight kids.
ps- stay tuned for a decrease in rudd’s popularity, some small ‘l’ liberalising of the Liberals’ social values, renewed discussions about the formation of an australian republic, and some firey question times.
